Ritter's Ethics Praised

October 04, 1992|The Morning Call

To the Editor:

It seems that most voters in our 15th Congressional District should have minimal trouble making their choice between Don Ritter and Paul McHale. The significant differences in political philosophy and political records between the two candidates offer voters a clear choice -- and that's good!

However, a distinct choice based on political philosophy and performance may not be all that clear to some voters and their choice may come down to other factors. I'd like to suggest one such factor they should consider.

At a time when political and personal scandal touches too many politicians, particularly in the Congress, our representative in Washington is untouched -- clean of even hearsay in terms of his personal or professional ethics. If people can't decide about Don Ritter based on his approach to government and politics, maybe they should consider casting their vote based on his political and personal integrity, values which serve the Lehigh Valley well and proud across our region, state and nation.
